This book explores the incorporation of untranslated fragments from
various languages within modernist writing. It studies
non-translation in modernist fiction, poetry, and other forms of
writing, with a principally European focus and addresses the
following questions: what are the aesthetic and cultural
implications of non-translation for modernist literature? How did
non-translation shape the poetics, and cultural politics, of some
of the most important writers of this key period? This edited
volume, written by leading scholars of modernism, explores
American, British, and Irish texts, alongside major French and
German writers and the wider modernist recovery of Classical
languages. The chapters analyse non-translation from the dual
perspectives of both 'insider' and 'outsider', unsettling that
false opposition and articulating in the process their
individuality of expression and experience. The range of voices
explored indicates something of the reach and vitality of the
matter of translation-and specifically non-translation-across a
selection of poetry, fiction, and non-fictional prose, while
focusing on mainly canonical voices. Together, these essays seek to
provoke and extend debate on the aesthetic, cultural, political,
and conceptual dimensions of non-translation as an important yet
hitherto neglected facet of modernism, thus helping to re-define
our understanding of that movement. It demonstrates the rich
possibilities of reading modernism through instances of
non-translation.
